She shared, “I can’t stress to y’all enough how not feeling good in who you are affects everything you do and for a long time that stopped me from wanting to do other stuff.” As she got older, Angela realized that in order for her to truly love herself she needed to understand that it is her own self that is in charge of who she is and who she wants to become.

She also challenged fans to, “look yourself in the mirror and hug yourself” because self-love is the best kind of love. 

The Instagram Live tugged on audiences’ hearts as they showed love to her in the comment section.
